20 Signs America is in Decline

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. — Ronald Reagan

Those who attack American culture and tradition should recall that historically, freedom and prosperity are the aberrations, not servitude and poverty. Our nation’s success is not a happy accident or part of a natural, unstoppable progression that can’t be changed. Nothing could be more foolish than to abandon the traditions, religion, work ethic, family structure, moral code and culture that made this country wealthy and free while expecting to continue to reap the rewards of practices we now scorn as too demanding and judgmental. What we sow as a nation, we should expect to reap and the crop these days isn’t looking very good.

2) Fears that America would go bankrupt in the next few years used to be a fringe belief. Now, Doomsday Preppers is a TV show, gold, guns and survival seeds are being widely advertised and vast numbers of Americans are making decisions about purchases, investments, and saving money that take into account the possibility that the country could bankrupt within the next decade or two.

3) “Half of all children born to women under 30 in America now are illegitimate. Three in 10 white children are born out of wedlock, as are 53 percent of Hispanic babies and 73 percent of black babies.” — Pat Buchanan

4) “The IMF calculates that to maintain the present spending trend the United States will have to nearly double (88 percent increase) all federal taxes to maintain theoretical solvency.” — Kevin Williamson

12) Forty seven percent of Americans don’t pay income tax. That means not only are the poor not paying their own way, a significant number of Americans in the middle class aren’t being asked to pay in taxes what they receive in government services.

13) There is a 100 trillion — with a “T” — gap between what our government is currently promising to pay to retiring senior citizens and the money it’s on track to have. Just to give you a little perspective, our current national debt is approaching 17 trillion dollars.

14) Only about 30% of Americans think the country is on the right track.

18) “Consider this: the U.S. economy has created 2.6 million jobs since June 2009. In the same period, 3.1 million workers have signed up for disability benefits. Back in 1992 there was one person on disability benefits for every 36 people in employment. Now the ratio is 1 to 16.” — Niall Ferguson

19) Gun sales hit record highs in 2012. That’s partially because of fears of gun control, but it’s also because of a growing fear that a breakdown in societal order is coming down the road.

20) “John Kichen of the U.S. Treasury and Menzie Chinn of the University of Wisconsin published a study in 2010 entitled: Financing U.S. Debt: Is There Enough Money in the World – and At What Cost? The fact that sane men are even asking this question ought to be deeply disturbing. As to the answer, foreign official holdings of U.S. Treasury securities have usually been less than 5 percent of the rest of the world’s GDP. By 2009, they were up to 7 percent. By 2020, Kitchen and Chinn project them to rise to 19 percent of the rest of the world’s GDP, which they say is….do-able. Whether the rest of the world will want to do it is another matter. A future that presumes the rest of the planet will sink a fifth of its GDP into U.S. Treasuries is no future at all.” — Mark Steyn

God hasn’t given a dam about America for decades. Look at what we do. Look at what we Allow our government to do to us. Look at what we allow them to do to other countries in the false name of Freedom or “Spreading Democracy”. What a load of Sh!t. We go to other countries with outstretched hands and moments before we embrace them, we make a fist and beat the snot out of them and steal every natural resource they have. There! There’s your Vile democracy at work! We’ve spent so long thinking that just because we Can do something that we somehow have the Right to. WRONG!!! We need to keep our big noses OUT of other country’s business and take care of our own country for a change. People in other countries don’t cry out for us to help them. They hope and pray that we never arrive to make things worse! And get this; WE’RE BROKE !!! We don’t have anything else to give to other countries. We need to stop playing God. We can’t be All things to All people. We are about as far away from Benevolence as a country can get. And then, if that’s not bad enough, we are fast becoming a nation of Sick Minded people. Just because some group of people like to live alternate life styles and bitch and moan about people not “Liking” how they live, DOES NOT give them the Right force their sick ways upon our children. Let me make this statement; When a nation of people say it’s a good thing for its men to find love when looking at another man’s hairy ass, YOU’VE GOT A MORAL PROBLEM !!! Such nasty vile creatures. And then tell our children IN THEIR CLASSROOMS, TEACHING THEM “Oh…it’s ok to be different.” Whoever is teaching our kids this or passing laws that say it’s ok, you bastards need to find another job! You’re NOT doing our country any good AT ALL!!! And with all of this, our country thinks it has the Right to ask God for help or for his blessings? Buddy; God hasn’t given a rat’s ass about this country for a long, long time. If you have to wonder why, then you are hopelessly lost. **And NO…. I’m not white and I’m not a member of any church organization and I’m not even a Christian. I’m happy just being ….Right. That’s my opinion. And I don’t really care if you like it or not.

#5 This is why the movie and game industry has a rating system. They didn’t need the government to force them into it.

Parents and other adults can more readily make choices about what their children watch and play.

I agree with your right to complain about “indecency”, but people have a right to make their own choices.

#7 We do have a space program, but its budget has been drastically reduced.

While the government may not be in the space business as much, a lot of private enterprise is. We’ll be likely to see a corporate sponsored mission to Mars than a government backed one.

#8 I agree, but the problem is still solvable.

Not every immigrant is parasite, and there are the rights of the children of illegal immigrants to consider. Minors are not responsible for the actions of their parents.

Many highly educated immigrants have skills that some Americans do not possess/are willing to work for less money.

Many illegal immigrants are willing to do the hard work on farms that citizens are not willing to do.

#11 Reasons the Middle Class is shrinking.

There has been a lot of consolidation in the business world, technology has made businesses more efficient and thus they need less workers, many of today’s jobs require a different set of skills/mindset which workers aren’t prepared for, many tasks can be done better through automation/outsourcing.

Some companies are not as interested in long-term relationships with employees/investing in training.

There aren’t enough people building new businesses, and government regulations make it difficult for smaller businesses to compete with larger, more established businesses.

A sense of entitlement amongst middle class and poor people is preventing growth as much, if not more than the above.

#12 The income tax has only existed since 1913. If the government wasn’t taking money from anyone, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation about whose “fair share” was and was no being paid.

I agree that it is indeed happening, but a lot of it has been caused by consolidation in the business world, outsourcing, and the very real fact the government makes it very difficult for smaller firms to grow into large firms.

#13 While I am not suggesting Grandma have her Social Security and Medicare cutoff, Social Security and Medicare are inefficient Ponzi schemes which teach people they are not responsible for their own lives and their financial futures.

Social Programs are not sustainable, and the fact the young are forced by government mandate to pay for the old and people on disability isn’t compassion, it’s theft.

#17 The 1950s nuclear family is no longer the sole definition of family.

While I will defend your right to believe what you wish to believe, someone’s love life is no one else’s business.

Zero mention of pornography. Abortion. etc. Also raising children to believe a conflict free universe where social justice reigns is possible. Homosexuality regarded as a personal choice as opposed to a mental illness. The economy in a state where rule of law functions is almost ALWAYS strong.

Jeff: aside from personal insults do you have any response at all to any if this?? Where is that $100T going to come from? Do you dispute his facts? Or his logic? Or are you so bound up in your loyalty to the leftist tribe that you can’t acknowledge any truth from the outside? Pitiful!

Sad how we have let Our “Once Great, Proud” nation become the laughing stock of the World. It all started because the Liberals did a better job of Lying to the electorate and promising anything it took to get their Votes. The Illegals were allowed to vote for the party that guaranteed AMNESTY and fulfillment of all their Dreams. Well it’s happened and NOW the FACTs are…we will NEVER be able to pay for all the Crap this Muslim Raghead has imposed on us…and….with NO opposition from our Congress or any of our people. I’m in my 80’s and won’t have long to be here and Worry about it…but remember…”THE PIPER HAS TO BE PAID”! Good Luck
